Wasabi is green...

St. Paddy’s day 2010! I spent this year’s St. Paddy’s at the Brazen Head in Liberty Village (TO). Besides an ill-timed decision to move onto the patio as the warm sun was about to set (it’s still freezing), I had a great time with friends.







As always, eating was my priority. In true Irish fashion I ordered the only corned beef item on the menu (I'm actually 1/4 Irish <3 Nana <3). I love love love corned beef, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that this Canadian pub variety was actually quite good. Unfortunately I do not have pictures for you as I was too excited and devoured it all in 4.5 minutes. Much later that day my friend Carmen and I ventured out to Sushi & Bento on King St. W (King W & Portland) for more authentically Irish fare…sushi. Sometimes I just need spicy salmon rolls (not want, need). Carmen had a sushi bento box. I, still full of Harp was in more of a snacking mood.

My spicy salmon rolls a.k.a "Kara's kryptonite"


My veggie tempura tower

I really liked what I had. My spicy salmon rolls were actually kind of spicy, and my tempura was good too (though how you could go wrong with fried anything is beyond me). Normally I don’t EVER venture into a sushi place without it having first been recommended to me by someone. Good sushi is good, bad sushi is inedible. I was relieved to find that their fish was fresh and their service was friendly. Our waitress even asked us why everyone was wearing green and drinking so early on a Wednesday.

Carmen did find her bento box a tad bit pricey though (around $15 if I remember correctly). I however did not find that, but hey, I ordered my "snacky" things. I would definitely return to Sushi & Bento.
